False 498A FIR filed by wife against husband, sisters (married/unmarried), parents, brother in law. All family members are on anticipatory/notice bail. Charge sheet is being prepared by IO.
(i) When chargesheet is submitted to Magistrate, does IO have to provide evidence supporting the charges?
(ii) Does Magistrate review this evidence before admitting these charges?
(iii) All accusations are false. So, unless complainant has submitted false/fabricated evidence, there will be no evidence to support any of the accusations. On what basis will/can IO frame the charges? Only on basis of false verbal testimony of complainant, her parents, friends, family??
(iv) Does husbnand and his family members have to apply again for bail or convert their anticipatory/notice bail to permanent bail after chargesheet?
(v) For people who are employed/in service, do they need to inform their office about charge sheet being filed? It is not a conviction, just an accusation which has yet to be proved/accepted by law.
(v) Husband has high court order directing wife to allow husband to meet their 3 year old child once a month. for last 4 months, wife has not allowed husband to meet their child. Wife is working in same city as husband and says that she has sent the child away to her hometown. Is that appropriate? what remedy does husband have? how can he ensure well being of child and that she is not sent away from the city where both parents are residing? can any third person be allowed to keep custody of such small child?
